This 1971 Mercedes-Benz 280SE is a 3.5-liter coupe features a Brown exterior with a Cognac leather interior. The car was purchased from a classic/exotic car dealer in Tifton GA in December of 2009. The car had been repainted to the current color and had 25,000 miles on the odometer at the time of purchase. The car was shipped to Europe where it lived primarily in Austria where it underwent restoration and repair.. While in Austria, it was only driven to classical car shows and always garaged. The car returned to the US in July 2019 and is now ready to move on to a new Mercedes lover.
Some notes on the restoration / repairs:
There is no known body rust. It does have a slow oil drip and, potentially, a slow steering fluid drip. Car runs very well and has been checked out by a Virginia Mercedes only shop.
